Abstract
The present disclosure refers to an agricultural system having a tractor and an implement and a method of operating. A driveline is provided between a driving device () of a tractor () and a first functional element () of an implement (), the driveline comprising a tractor driveline () and an implement driveline () connected through a power take-off connection (). A driving force is provided to the first functional element () of the implement () through the driveline in a first mode of operation, thereby, a working tool () rotating in a first direction in response to the driving force. An operation problem is detected for the first functional element () by a sensor () provided in a tractor-implement control system. Reverse control signals are generated in a tractor controller () provided in the tractor-implement control system in response to the detecting of the operation problem for the first functional element (). A direction of rotation of the drive output shaft () of the tractor power take-off () is reversed in response to the providing of the reverse control signals in the tractor controller () in a second mode of operation, thereby, rotating the working tool () of the first functional element () in a second direction which is opposite to the first direction.
